Acts 1:12-26 - Matthias Chosen To Replace Judas
12 Then the Apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is about three quarters of a mile from the city. 13 When they reached Jerusalem, they went to the upstairs room, where they were staying. There were there Peter, John, James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 They all united in devoting themselves to Prayer, and so did some women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 About this time, at a meeting of the Brethren, when there were about a hundred and twenty present, Peter rose to speak. 16 "Brothers," he said, "it was necessary that the prediction of Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit made by the lips of David about Judas, who acted as guide to the men that arrested Jesus, 17 For he was one of our number and had his part allotted him in this work of ours." 18 (This man had bought a piece of land with the price of his treachery; and, falling heavily, his body had burst open, and all his bowels protruded. 19 This became known to every one living in Jerusalem, so that the field came to be called, in their language, 'Akeldama,' which means the 'Field of Blood.') 20 "For in the Book of Psalms," Peter continued, "it is said-- 'Let his dwelling become desolate, and let no one live in it'; and also--'His office let another take.'
21 Therefore, from among the men who have been with us all the time that Jesus, our Master, went in and out among us-- 22 From his baptism by John down to that day on which he was taken from us--some one must be found to join us as a witness of his resurrection."
23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias; 24 And they offered this prayer--"O Lord, who reads all hearts, show which of these two men you have chosen 25 To take the place in this apostolic work, which Judas has abandoned, to go to his proper place." 26 Then they drew lots between them; and, the lot having fallen on Matthias, he was added to the number of the eleven Apostles.
